we were the only ones to dine on a Saturday night and was a bit hesitant, but it was a bit far from the busy area of Tokyo. this was the only curry restaurant we dined in but i didn’t want a typical Japanese style curry rice. i knew this would be unique and it absolutely did not disappoint. we got the omurice style curry with chicken katsu.

as soon as we sat, we were served their onion soup, a good dashi! we drank it immediately, being a cold wet day and he was generous enough to refill our cups!

the chef had prepared our meals quickly. he immediately fried up some onions with the rice (which had some sort of tomato base, it wasn’t tangy or anything). he topped the rice with a perfectly runny omelette, finished with the katsu and curry over the dish. the first bite exploded with flavours and we were so impressed and satisfied. i would say it’s more a peppery gravy like curry, than it isn’t a traditional Japanese curry dish. it’s not sweet, but savory and packed with umami, especially with some cheese melted in! the chicken katsu was hot and extra crispy *bonus that it didn’t get soggy at all throughout the meal. it was a generous portion and we finished every last grain of rice. we loved pairing bites with their complimentary picked veggies and spice rack! it was truly a fantastic meal. we’re sad we only made it here on our second last day, because we definitely would’ve came back a second time!

the only feedback would be, the rice wasn’t steaming hot like the sauce/rest of the dish. some bites were warm rather than piping hot but it was balance out with the katsu .. just nitpicking. nonetheless, it was a delicious and memorable meal - we wished we had more time to come back for a second meal, hopefully next time!
